I'm curious how they felt it would change practice?

For contrast, many of the NHL rinks have been LED floors for some time, and as far as I know, they don't use that feature in practice.

Learning plays, by following where players should be on the court at any point in a play. Or being able to see how another team ran through their rotations, right on the court as opposed to in video sessions. There were examples of programs to individualize training points.

It is a neato promotional gimmick. Way too expensive to be actually used for anything but a shoe sale promotion. In addition, it has zero practical use for a competitive runner. The turns are tight, the hill is too steep for intervals, and it a serious runner really interested in chasing around a silly LED picture?

also not true, did you even read the article... you def voted for Trump

"Among white voters in the current election, college graduates support Clinton over Trump by a 14-point margin (47% Clinton vs. 33% Trump), while those without college degrees back Trump over Clinton by an even larger 25-point margin (51% Trump vs. 26% Clinton), according to the Center’s survey conducted Aug. 9-16."
